Wudic . . . irror Wafurafgaufy During the year, beauty and culture have been reflected in the art and music departments, under the leadership of Mrs. Margaret S. Mitzit and Ernest O. Caneva, respectively. The art department, under the leadership of Mrs. Mitzit, has undertaken many projects which have served to acquaint the students with the minor and major divisions of art. One big job that fell on the art classes was the making ot posters for the plays, dances, and operettas put on by the school. Besides painting with oils and doing silk screen printing, the advanced art classes also made menu covers for the Iunior Red Cross. Stu- dents of Lockport High School competing in the local Social Security poster contest Won first and second places this year. The art appreciation course covered a little bit of each different field ot art. A new course, called crafts, was introduced this year to student art lovers. Students were taught how to make accessories, such as scarves and belts. They learned how to model clay and to work with leather, metal, and the stencil. lnterior decoration students studied the history of furniture, They also learned the different types of furniture and the correct color schemes used in decor- ating a room or home. individual training was- given students of music throughout the day and every eighth period was spent by the band members in listening to records, learning to play musical instruments, and drilling in formations for football games. Every noon hour you could find the chorus singing songs in the auditorium. As these students learned, they were able to entertain the Whole school with their singing and playing. ls it any wonder that Mr. Caneva, our music direc- tor, is so proud of the musicians of Lockport High?
